“Yes, my senior year at Sam Houston State, which seems like a long time ago, we were down at Nicholls State in Thibodaux, Louisiana. We were in the second or third quarter and we had a good one. It was a two-and-a-half or 3 hour delay – it was a long delay. We were able to come out after that and get the win. It kept raining and it was nasty – it was very similar to today. I was joking around because I thought about that today when we were in there. It was a crazy day.”

On what he did during today’s delay

“When we heard how long it was going to be, we laid down for a little while and just stretched. I closed my eyes and just tried to think about the game, visualize the game a little bit. I kind of assessed what happened the first two series and what we did wrong, why we didn’t move the ball and what they were going to do to us. And then it was really cool, some of the coaches including Mike Groh (WR coach) grabbed some of the players and Brandon wanted to do it as well. We got a walk-through going, amongst the skill guys. Me, Brandon, Alshon (Jeffery) and Earl (Bennett) and maybe Matt, I can’t remember who all was involved – we walked through some plays. The hiccups that we had in the first series were just stupid. I had one, Garza with the snap, Alshon had one – all stupid things. It was just, let’s take a deep breath here. Let’s go back through and not shoot ourselves in the foot and come out better in this second half.”

On what happened during the big pass to Martellus Bennett

“You know, it was taking a shot with any of our three big guys. When the call came in, I can remember making eye contact with Jay (Cutler) on the sideline, and he was just smiling and I was kind of like – the wind was whipping and everything – but we got the coverage we wanted and it was a great call. We got the coverage we wanted and then Martellus made an awesome play. So we were able to move the safety towards Brandon and then get back to Martellus.”

On the patience exhibited by Martellus Bennett (while surrounded by so many big playmakers)

“Yeah, it was cool. It’s a credit to his character. It is hard, because you don’t get your shots, so to speak. It’s that deal where you don’t get the shots all game, but then someone calls on you to hit the game-winner. That’s what he did today. I’m not sure how many catches he had up till then – maybe one or two. It was a great catch by him and I’m proud of him. It was something for us to build off of and it was a reminder for all of us involved that you never know whose turn it is going to be and to stay ready.”

On his mindset of not having interceptions or forcing the ball

“That’s the main thing when you’re in the wind. You know what type of ballgame it’s going to be. You know what kind of defense you’re playing. Baltimore is a very, very good defense. We talked about it this week with you guys – we were concerned because they were probably as good as we’ve faced. For me, add the elements to it – there was a heightened sense of ball security. Marc (Trestman) and I talked about that before the game – wanting to get out of this thing on the plus side of it on turnovers. We were able to do that and we were able to protect the ball. I’m proud of everyone involved for getting that done.”

On the Bears still being in the mix due to Detroit’s loss today

“My dad always says, ‘that thing is oblong and bounces funny’. So every time this happens, I always think about that. You never know from week to week in this league. It is what it is, where we are right now. We just have to get ready for St. Louis and take care of that – nothing beyond that. You don’t know what is going to happen – all you can do is play the game in front of you. So the most important game for us in the world right now is St. Louis and that’s the one we have to focus on.”
